BOX.

Application filed. January 15, 1914.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANK KAYE and ROBERT W. Rooms, citizens of the United States, residing at Meridian, in the county of Lauderdale and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in boxes, and more particularly to containers for packing ice cream, either in the brick or unmolded form, so that the contents may be transported or kept for some time with out melting; and this invention is an improvement upon the form of box disclosed in Patent No. 1,024,482, granted to us on April 23, 1912.

The object is to provide a box having an inner and an outer receptacle, the inner receptacle entirely out off from the outer receptacle.

A further object is to provide a box so constructed that the outer receptacle can be packed with ice to preserve the ice-cream or other frozen liquid packed in the inner receptacle, and all danger of the contents of the inner receptacle coming in contact with the contents of the outer receptacle, or the water in the outer receptacle leaking therefrom, due to the melting of the ice, is precluded.

This invention consists in still other novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box showing the covers of both the inner and outer receptacles open; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view through the box more clearly to illustrate the several parts, and Fig. 3 is a view on a reduced scale of the blank forming the outer receptacle, showing the folds thereof indicated by dotted lines.

The outer receptacle A, as better shown in Fig. 3, is formed from a single sheet bent and folded so that as shown in Fig. 1) four sides 1, 2, 3, and 4:, and a bottom are formed. Flaps 5 and 6 are provided on the upper edges of the sides 1 and 2. The flap 6 is preferably rectangular in form, and has slots 7, 7 formed therethrough, into which the tongues or ears 8, 8 on the flap 5 are in serted when the flaps 5 and 6 are brought to a position to close the top of the outer receptacle. The side 4c of the outer recep- Specification of Letters Patent.

tacle A is cut diagonally across, as better shown in Fig. 3, and the flaps thus formed are bent to extend into the interior of the receptacle A.

The inner receptacle B comprises four sides 9, 9 and one end 10, which are so connected by pasting or any other approved manner that the receptacle is liquid-tight. This receptacle B is inserted through the opening 11 formed by bending back the three-cornered flaps 12, 12 of the side 1, and the end 10 of the receptacle B is secured to the side 3 of the receptacle A. The flaps 12 are pasted or otherwise secured on the outer surface of the sides 9 of the receptacle B, and flaps 13, 13, which are connected with the sides 9 on the open end of the receptacle are bent back against the face of the side 4, and secured by pasting. In this way, the receptacle B is held between two sides of the receptacle A and the receptacle B has clearance at each side thereof.

As a means of closing the open end of the receptacle B, a rectangular closure flap 14 is provided on the upper edge of the side 4:. This flap 14. may be brought down over and against the side 4 and is held in position by a fastening 15, which is received through an opening 16 in the lower edge of the flap.

While this invention has been described as having the outer receptacle bent and folded in a certain manner, and has been shown in the drawings to conform to the description, it will be evident that the blank from which the receptacle A is formed might be bent in various forms other than that disclosed, and yet accomplish the same object, also, the blank from which the inner receptacle is shaped might be formed in a different manner, and the two could be conceptacle cannot comein" Gendarme an? contents of the other receptacle, and as the outer receptacle is formed from a single piece of material bent up to form a bottom fasten the flap.

2. A folding box comprising a rectangular piece of material, the rectangular portion having perforations at all four edges, integral flaps formed at the centers of three of the edges, the box folded in alinement with the edges of the flaps and diagonally through the corners between said lines in alinement with the flap edges, means passing through the perforations for securing the box, an opening formed adjacent to the intermediate edge flap, an inner receptacle inserted through said opening, one end of said receptacle secured to the box opposite said opening, and the flaps resulting from the formation of said opening secured to the inner receptacle, two of the edge flaps forming the cover for the box, and the third for the open end of the inner receptacle.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures, in the presence of two witnesses,
